Which Great Fighters Would Lose MORE Fantasy Fights, Than Fans Are Willing To Admit?

Sam Langford.

On film, he's just a wild swinging mess, often throwing uppercuts from the floor. No defense.

Langford's build helped him dominate smaller men. A light heavy/cruiserweight above the waist, Langford's feet essentially began just below where his kneecaps should've been, which made his arms look ridiculously long. (His legs were just really, really short for a guy with his upper body.) All head and torso.

Barely 5'7". The ultimate stumpy fighter. The fact that his legs were so short, and his weight was primarily above his waist, allowed him to dominate smaller fighters with his "bigger man" upper body and compete evenly with heavier guys of his day (most of whom weren't that heavy).

As it was, he still lost or drew nearly 70 times.

Based on what we can see of him, Langford likely loses rather handily to most of the top light heavyweights and heavyweights (and probably some who weren't at the top) over the last 100 years (1925 onward).
